She took a deep breath. 'There's way worse things that could have happen.' She told herself. 'I mean really this isn't so bad. It's not like its going effect my changes to get into a good collage. I hope.' She looked up at the flashing sign. Sweet-Land party place, it read. 'I can do this.' She opened the door and stepped inside.
It was Sunday, so it wasn't going to open for another few hours. The first thing she noticed, as she walk into the closed place, was that the checkered tile in the floor had little candy designs in them. She looked around. Everything from the play place to the food was sweet themed. They even only had sweet related games in the arcade. You wouldn't think there were many but Sweet-land had one of the biggest arcades in the state. The only things that weren't sweet themed were the animatronics animals.
They sat lifeless on the stage. There were four of them, a bear, a wolf, a bird, and a pig like thing. She didn't know much about them only that they performed for kids. She never went to sweet-Land when she was a little girl, so this was her first time seeing them. 'I don't get how kids like these things. There so creepy.'
As she made her way to the back room, were she was told to go, she could hear something. It was music. She stopped walking and listened. It was the theme to Candy racer, a game in the arcade. It always played when the game is turned on. The weird thing was the game, all the games, were off when she walked in.
She tried to ignore it and keep going, but it kept getting louder and louder. Every time she took a step it jumped in volume. She was normally a calm person and but she couldn't take. She ran over and yanked the cored out of the out lit. She gave a sigh of relief and turned around to start walking to the back room, but someone was in the doorway.
"Ah that is much better, thank you."The stranger spoke."You must be the new employee. Pandora was it?"
"It's Pyrrha actually."The girl replied. People always mispronounced her name, but this was the first time someone mistook it for a totally different name. Even with all the trouble her name brought she always liked it.
"Well Pyrrha while I'm writing for the girl who started yesterday to get her, why don't we get stated on the way things work here?"
"Okay, sir."Pyrrha answered."So it's just going to be you, me, and, when the she gets here, the other girl here today?"She couldn't help but wonder why there isn't anyone else here today.
"Yes today and every other day. That's why we need to get things done."Her boss replied. He didn't seem to find it a bit odd to only have two employees. Pyrrha was going to commit on this, but she figured it would be rude, so she just nodded and fallowed the man to the back room.
The back room appeared to be the place's break room. It had a couch that somehow crawled throw a time portal from the 70s.A T.V. that was the size of her head and was missing several button. The rug was cameo and clashed with everything. Worst of all the room smelled like a dead skunk. None of this mattered to the girl because she planned to do nothing in this place but work off the hours that they said she owed to the mall.
She turned around to shut the door behind her. She noticed something bizarre."Why does the door have so many lucks?"Before her boss could answer her question the door busted open. An orange haired girl ran in. She was short and was wearing a high wasted pink skirt with a heart pattern and a white tank top.
"I have a very good reason for being late! So the guy who drives me like everywhere wasn't at my house on time so I had to walk all the way to his house. It was like a 30 minute walk, it was really tiring, but that's not the point! So when I finally got there he was asleep. So I wasted like an hour trying to get his lazy butt out of bed, though he's super cute when he's sleeping. What! Forget I said that
"Anyway when he finally got up we found out he's car got stolen! This doesn't make any since 'cause he's car is total crap. I mean really, if you're going to steal a car at least steal a nice one. Anyway so we called the police and they were all like, 'we can't help you because the car wasn't in your name." So that's sucks, he paid like so much money on that.
"So then I had to wait for the bus to come. When it finally came guess what happen? It got a flat tire! So I waited for 40 minutes for them to fix it. And after a 20 minute ride to the mall, I finally got here." The girl spoke so fast that Pyrrha could only understand a few words. She looked at her boss, was as lost as her.
"So a hot sleeping guy's car got stolen and then a bus got a flat tire so you're late." The boss guessed. The girl nodded; clearly embarrassed that her boss knows she thinks the guy is hot. Her face was bright red. She shook her head and turned to Pyrrha.
"Hello! I'm Nora Valkyrie. Who are you?"She said trying to change the subject. Pyrrha smiled and extended her hand.
"I'm Pyrrha Nikos, nice to meet you."Nora grinned and shook Pyrrha's hand.
"Nora," the girls turned to their boss. "Start getting things ready for opening while I show Pyrrha how things are done." The girls nodded and went their suppurate ways, ready for the work ahead.
